"All Ages - Reflections on Straight Edge" takes an in-depth look at the second wave of American Hardcore -- the music that borrowed from the likes of Minor Threat, Black Flag and SSD -- bands like Youth of Today, Slapshot, Bold, Underdog, Side by Side, Gorilla Biscuits, Judge, Inside Out, Chain of Strength, No for an Answer and Supertouch. Most of these bands were awesome and unique and have yet to be documented accurately outside of their own recordings until now. The personalities and opinions expressed in this book are as varied as the music these people have since created. So many of the people who at one time held similar beliefs have since then explored virtually every direction in life imaginable and they candidly discuss their experiences in "All Ages".

Bad Brains, Dischord Records, Ian Mackaye, Straight-Edge, Emo, Riot Grrl, Henry Rollins, Fugazi, Minor Threat, Revolution Summer, Rites Of Spring, Bikini Kill, Positive Force, Dag Nasty, No Trend, Iron Cross etc etc -- it's all here coming out of the insurgent DC punk scene. An incredible book from the founder of Positive Force. Illustrated throughout with more than 300 photos. Now in yet another new, update... This is the american edition, written in english.
